Mr.. Bayard's DetractOrs stricken
DuaRb.

1t is very flattering to Mr. Bayard
that those noisy and malicious detractors
who were so loud and bitter in denounc-
ing him in the Cutting case and the
fishery rows, and God knows in how
many Others ways, should all at once
since the Presidents Message has been
sent to Congress, have been stricken with
a fit of tongue and pen paralysis. What
has become Of those unpatriotic detract-
ors of the Secretary of State who, bv
boldly abusing Mr.. Bayard in the Cut
ting affair, gave aid and comfort to the
Mexicans in upholding monstrous law?
And as to the fishery question, even
Maine statesmen seem to be as dumd at
present as the fishes they try to catch in
defiance of a treaty. Well, the truth is
fair play is not entirely banished from
the land, and political friends and oppo-
nents must admit that the Administra
ton though its able Secretary of State. has
during the year not only wisely and
dignifiedly but, still more, patrioticallv
managed our affairs with foreign conn
tries, so that the people as whole, NAV
well be satisfied and proud of our Do
partment of State.-Ex.

How Sioux Juveniles Break
Ponies.

The Sioux, like many other In
dams of the plains, are bred from
infancy to handle horses. When
but papooses they are hung on the
saddle bow, and | haye frequently
49,. :, when not more than'n ~" Eve
SIX years of age, girls as well as
boys, riding their ponies like mad at
full gallop. The manner of subdu-
ing pony l have often witnessed
on the plains, and one who now
visits the Sioux Indians in their Da-
kota reservation may find children
similarly employed in breaking colts.
The boys and girls take together
young colt when only three Or four
months old and begin with him. A
lariat is tied Indian fashion with Il
slip moose to the under jaw. A small
bundle is then placed upon the colts
back, or the children arrange pair
of light trevice poles over the colts
shoulders, letting the ends drag on
the ground then the poles are tied
to his back, and attached to a wick
er-work platform or basket and
weight is placed in it. Sometimes
in place of weight, three or four
dogs are placed in the wicker and
very often the children get in. The
colt runs and plunges and kicks in
all directions, and then lies down
and rolls over. Sometimes three or
four children will climb upon his
back, and by and by such a tumb-
ling scene is witnessed as would
make every boy and girl laugh-th
children flying one way and blan-
kets the other.

How Men Buy Women's
Clothes.

Men who venture into dry goods
stores always do so with fear and
trembling. The thread and needle
shop, no matter how large and inn
posing, Notwithstanding that it con-
tains everything that a man wears
or uses in his household, is still u
place where women congregate in
large numbers, where saleswomen
abound, and is III every way suggest
i've of women's ways and her wants.
The man who can go through dry
goods store with his wife, and enjoy
the excursion as much as she does,
is among the things that are yet to
be discovered. A woman can pur-
chase mems wear from the young
man who waits upon her in that
department OF dry good store and
not experience the slightest embar-
rassment, but it takes bold son OF
Adam to purchase an article OF
women's wear from woman in a
like establishment and not wish the
job well off his hands. Women de-
clare that with the exception of un-
derwear they would much rather be
waited upon by men than by their
own sex. They will tell you what
the average shop girl is saucy, and
acts when taking your order as
though great favor was being done
you. Men aremore polite and pain
stalking, know their business better
and try harder to find just the thing
needed.

The Stage.

Alas! the beautiful Temple Thea
tire now lies n mass of smouldering
and blackened ruins, caused by the
fierce conhagration which visited it
on Monday morning. There will be
many signs of regret as its patrons
in this town read of the awful de-
struction of this vcritable palace of
art and luxury and recall the Gle
gance and elaboration of this house.
1t has hardly been week since The
Lounger was seated in the house at
an operate performance, mcditating
in his mind the appalling disecra-
ton which flames would cause
among those rich and artistic deco
rations. It's genial manager, Mr..
George c. Brotherton will have the
hearty and deep sympathy of every
play goer in the city for his late
family affection as well as his pecu-
MARY loss.
Miss Fortescue opened at the
Chestnut st. Theatre on Monday
night and impressed Philadelphians
not only with her exceeding beauty
but with her sweet and finished
method of acting, though the per
formance was at times rather UNI
even. w. S. Gilbert's "Gretchcn, -
and "Sweet hearts" and "Frou Frou''
compose the weeks repertoire
Next week will be a notable one
for it will introduce to Philadelphia
audiences the most successful and
remarkable theatrical prodigy ON
the American stage. 1t is none other
than Henry +. Dixey with his nom
sensical burlesque of "Adonis' which
attained the unprecedented record
of over 600 consecutive nights in
New York with 100 nights in Lon
don and the same in Boston. His
engagement at the Chestnut St
Theatre next week will extend over
n period of six weeks and this is
hardly likely to half satisfy Phila-
phia.
Mr.. Edwin Booth, who needs no
introduction to the readers Of this
department also begins his annual
engagement at the Opera House on
Monday next and will attract his
usual crowded audiences.

What Can You Do.

There are ascetics who would
rather see sky and earth from the
shady side of n mildew-marked
stone wall than out in green and
blooming fields; who would sooner
walk beneath a sewers drippings
than over an intaglio of marble
through terraces of mignonette; to
them the glass of life is at less and
opaque. They are the philosophers
of what is ny-blown and noxious.
Don't believe them. They will
talk tcarfully of the good old times.
Don't believe them. A long trail of
light shines all through the CEN
turies, and under the impulse
of what is true and great
and good, men are growing into
truth, greatness, goodness. The back
ward-going crab is an exception,
not the lulc. The right thing to do
when anybody inquiries unwisely,
why were the former times better
than these?" is don't believe them,
and then hunt around to see what
you can do to help the world to bet
ter times than ours.
Can you do ANYTHING?
Of course, you can. You must.
There is no will you about it, You
must. Either to help along or him
der, yoU must. Progress is the uni
versal watchword. Stand still you
cannot. Nobody can. One brave
purpose-one noble deed-one no
bier deed-one noble life lived before
Others is as powerful and sure in its
effect as a rock started down a hill
slope. 1t gathers force by going. A
poor, selfish life is powerful to hurt.
What are the ways you can do
Education of yourself and others is
one Of them-is one that includes
all. Not book-lore-that's good too,
but the practical education by do
ing your work well, by speaking
wisely, by thinking out great things
to do.
The war of humankind that goes
on increasingly is that between sell
fishness and helpingness. What side
will you be on? What can you do
to make the world better?
Do you know that we never know
how great things we can do till we
begin doing? In what direction i'm
mortality and fame lie for us? The
control of the electricity that girdles
the earth with quick speech, and
lights our cities, began with a wise
thought of Thales, who lived thou

trifies may become Think, what
can you do?- ErerubodV's Journal

went in for some twenty PAGES; but,
in spite Of myself, the deeper

a fear gained possession of me which
was quite incomprehensible. l tried

on in this way for about quarter of

not help feeling relieved when l saw
the light of the sky through gap

it as strongly as if it had been ra-

New Ulm weekly review., 1887-08-17

Thomas Scott, OF Chicago, one OF
the Oldest and most extensive cattle
dealers in the United States, says there
is no mistake about the depression o.
the cattle business. especially on the
ranges. being unprecedented. Hesays
that sufficient attention has not gen
orally been paid,to the falling off in
the export trade as a cause operating
to depress the cattle business. The
enormous export OF wheat at unprece.
dentedly low prices for a series ol
years has almost entirely driven out
wheat growing in Great Britain and
many European countries. The price
Of American wheat has been far below
the cost OF production in those coun.
tries. AS. a result the farmers have
gone into cattle raising. Mr.. Scott
says that Scotland is full OF cattle,
and also north Germany. Mr.. Scott
anticipates that there will in thenext
year be an immense withdrawal %
capital. The result in his opinion
will be to pnt the business in tht
hands Of practical men who are OF
the ground, and in the dissolution o
hundreds Of cattle companies which
have been organized all over the eoun
try, and which as q rule, have beer
badly mlsmanaged.

The international yacht race at this
season across the Atlantic promises
to be the most exciting Of this kind
kind that has ever taken place. The
new American yacht, "Volunteer," is
said to be much faster than the Puri,
tan or Mayfower, and it is conceded
that the English yacht Thistle, is a
very much faster sailer than any oi
the English yachts that thus far have
been sent across the Atlantic. Agood
deal OF national pride enters into a
contest OF this character. American
yachtsmen have held "the cup for
many years, and the whole country
will regret to hear OF it's transfer to
the British. On the other hand, the
old time mistress Of the Seas is
equally interested in snatching itfrom
